Current Research

Robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy using posterior rectus sheath to restore vaginal support: The RESTORE study

We aim to describe the surgical technique to treat bothersome vaginal prolapse and short-term anatomic and functional outcomes.

Donor-site morbidity following autologous fascia lata harvest for pelvic organ prolapse surgery: A retrospective cohort study (FLAME Study)

This study aim to determine the incidence and spectrum of donor-site morbidity following AFL harvest using a standardised single-incision lateral thigh technique in women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery.

Primary surgery for treatment of stress urinary incontinence. A retrospective comparative study of modified Burch colposuspension and retropubic midurethral sling

We aim to compare Burch colposuspension and retropubic midurethral sling as primary treatment of stress urinary incontinence with respect to treatment success, patient reported outcomes and treatment-related adverse events ‍

A non-randomised comparison of the expanded autologous fascia lata augmented anterior vagina wall repair versus native tissue anterior colporrhaphy (FLAiR study)

The objective of this study is to evaluate the surgical technique of the expanded autologous fascia lata (EAFL) to treat anterior vagina wall prolapse and also to compare the anatomical and functional outcome to native tissue anterior colporrhaphy. It is hypothesised that EAFL technique will be comparable or better than native tissue anterior colporrhapy but not effectively worse than native tissue anterior colporrhaphy (recruitment completed).

Minimally invasive abdominal sacralcolpopexy using autologous fascia lata compared to mesh sacralcolpopexy for apical prolapse: The SCUFL study

This study aim to describe the surgical techniques of laparoscopic and robotic autologous fascia lata sacralcolpopexy for bothersome apical prolapse and report 1-year anatomic and functional outcomes in a multicentre setting (recruitment completed)
